Kate Middleton was hospitalized earlier this year, which quickly became world news. On January 17, Kensington Palace reassured the public in a statement that her «planned abdominal surgery» was «successful» and not a cause for concern. Shortly after the statement was released, her husband Prince William was seen visiting her in the hospital. However, on March 22, the Princess of Wales announced that she had been diagnosed with cancer. On September 9, Kate confirmed through social media that she had completed treatment and dedicated herself to remaining «cancer-free».
«As the summer comes to an end, I cannot tell you what a relief it is to finally have completed chemotherapy», - the princess said in her statement. «Maintaining freedom from cancer is now my goal. Although I have finished chemotherapy, my path to recovery and full restoration is long, and I need to continue taking each day as it comes».
Here are all the updates on Kate’s recent operation and her past health issues.
On January 17, 2024, Kensington Palace released an unusual statement revealing that the Princess of Wales had been hospitalized.
«Her Royal Highness was hospitalized for planned abdominal surgery», - the statement read. «The operation was successful, and she is expected to remain in the hospital for ten to fourteen days before returning home to continue her recovery. According to current medical advice, she does not intend to return to public duties until Easter».
The palace statement also said: «The Princess of Wales thanks you for the interest this statement will generate. She hopes the public will understand her desire to maintain as much normalcy as possible for her children, and her wish for her personal medical information to remain confidential. Kensington Palace will provide updates on her Royal Highness’s progress only in the event of significant new information to share. The Princess of Wales wishes to apologize to everyone for having to postpone upcoming events. She looks forward to the opportunity to reschedule as many of them as possible as soon as possible».
According to many sources, Kate’s operation was not cancerous and did not threaten her life. It is still unclear why she needed a «planned» procedure.
Shortly after news of her hospitalization became known, photographs of William leaving the hospital were spotted by paparazzi. Sources also reported that the Prince of Wales had rearranged his schedule to support his wife and children, according to a PEOPLE report.
The publication later also reported that close members of the royal family were also surprised, like the public, when Kate was hospitalized. Although everything seemed fine with the Princess of Wales in December, those working with the royal family noticed that some public events remained in question for her attendance, according to the publication. As for why she and the royal family decided to keep her operation secret compared to King Charles III’s announcement of his surgery, PEOPLE reported that her choice was in the palace statement: to maintain «as much normalcy» for her children. Charles, however, chose to disclose news of his operation to the public because it seemed «reasonable» to do so.
«It was reasonable to be more open about it, otherwise people might think the worst», - a palace source told the publication about Charles’s choice to inform the public.
After the operation, sources also reported that Kate «feels well»
